yeh but i think its obvious that Alonso will win both wars.
Its a none fact that Swiss are very hit and miss.
And tonykart are the most succesful karting manufacturer in history, with facilities and technology rival to F1.

I've got a Trulli and am pleased with it, but its an orange Tony Venox. If i was to change chassis soon i doubt id get a Trulli if they go to Swiss just as they're totally unknown to me in the way of i've never driven one or heard much about them. id much rather stick with a well established manufacturer

Like Ollie said, they're a bit hit and miss.

I was one one a few years ago and it was great, then a new one came out and it was a step back. A very strange situation.

If you catch them when they've got a stella chassis out, you'll go well, but realising that is a skill in it's self.

I can't be the only one looking at the thread title thinking "having a war is a bit like making love to a beautiful woman...you have to prepare your weapon, assess the ground carefully, take all safety precautions" &c &c...

I don't think none of the chassis - Trulli or FA - will be top front-runners in high-level karting in Europe. They're are more promotional brands; but a top karting driver would not choose its equipment because it's named under a F1 driver.

For promotional classes, 4-cycle karting and junior classes, driving hero's kart should sounds great. FA will probably sell a lot in Spain, for example. Genikart, who is running the official FA team, worked with Birel and Intrepid in the past two seasons. The guys change their mind very quickly. ;-)

Thats true and its a tonykart racer evs rebadged to alonso so who would buy it at the same price

[speedy king]

Probably priced higher, like the Trulli always was.

Tony Kart have also gone backwards at times. Apparently the 2003 Venox was very good (im pleased with it) however people who traded the 2003 for 2004 said it was the worst mistake they have ever made and the 2004 was awful

[Flatspot]

I'm kind of worried about that kind of thing right now. Just ordered the '06 Tony Kart Racer EVS, it has some big changes up at the front end so....... I think we'll keep the '05 Racer EV around for a little while just to be safe.

Damn, my wife just loves the idea of warehousing karts. ;-)

The racer evs is much better than the ev as people have said. And I had the 2004 Venox and i was faster on a 2002 mitox so they went back quite a bit
